Why This Base Works

This base uses a symmetric box-style layout built specifically against Dragons. Air Defenses form a triangular shape at the center, which lets them deal high damage from a strong position.

Outer buildings force Dragons to fly sideways instead of heading directly at the Air Defenses. Attacking from the Air Sweeper side often limits attackers to just one star.

Trap Placement

  • Black Mines: Hidden inside the base, hard for Balloons to reach and clear.

What Attacks Does This Base Counter?

  • Dragon and Balloon attacks: Outer buildings push Dragons sideways away from a direct line to the Air Defenses, and hidden Black Mines punish Balloons providing support.

FAQ

Why do the outer buildings force Dragons to fly sideways on this TH8 CWL base?

It keeps Dragons from taking a direct line to the triangular Air Defenses at the center, so they take more damage along the way.

What happens if attackers enter from the Air Sweeper side?

It often limits them to just one star, since that side is built specifically to punish that approach.

Do Black Mines help against Balloons?

Yes. They're hidden inside the base, which makes them hard for Balloons to reach and clear before the mines go off.
